About the Maker(s)

Ken Pedrotti

Ken Pedrotti

The Makers are senior students from the capstone design course from the Computer Engineering and Electrical Engineering departments. This is a final "design it" and "make it work" experience for our students before we unleash them upon the world. The professors attempting to direct this year's unruly crowd are Professors John Vesecky, Gabriel H. Elkaim, and Pak Chan. Professor Ken Pedrotti is serving as the Maker liaison and cheerleader.
